... (Carter and Letson 2005). A key finding is that the outcome of policy changes can vary depending on ENSO conditions. This suggests that climate change could have an impact on the effectiveness of fishery regulations. To examine this assertion, we use a VEC model to simulate the changes in headboat e ...
